Endless Love by Lisa Shapiro

Writer Andrea Stern is trying to rebuild her life after a devastating tragedy that left her grief-stricken and emotionally deadened. She returns home in an effort to reconnect with her family, but dealing with her disapproving mother, unexpressive father, and mentally ill sister only deepens her emotional void. Andrea teeters dangerously on the edge of despair...until she meets Gwen Severence -- a woman whose strength and caring will challenge her to make peace with the past. A woman who will teach her to live with hope instead of fear...and to believe, once again, that love can be forever.
